ARUNGGA (2nd chance )
32. Slap

That afternoon JC seemed busy because there will be a celebration of the birthday of General Chess as the founder of JC.

Each division sent three people as representatives to assist the team appointed by Zahira in decorating the room. From the finance division sent Aji and two other employees.

Because three people were sent to help the decor team, making the financial division short on manpower. At the same time, Zahira also asked for financial statements last week to be submitted to him. Zahira's request automatically keeps the finance division employees busy.

Arungga also looks so busy that he does not realize the action of Haikal the next time.

Haikal casually sent some money to the 'shadow account' he had. The number is only about a dozen million. It was much smaller than the amount that Haikal usually embezzled.

Afterwards Haikal acted as if nothing had happened. He also pretends to be busy like other employees.

Towards the break all the employees were asked to gather in the hall because the General was about to arrive. And at exactly eleven o'clock in the afternoon, General Chess was seen entering the room accompanied by Zahira and Fauzan.

All employees were seen welcoming the General with applause and congratulations. Trumpets also sounded each other to make the room more festive.

One of the women came forward to give the General a flower arrangement. Of course the general looked happy. He was seen waving his hands while smiling at all the employees who crowded the hall.

Then a specially invited ustadz led a special prayer reading on the general's birthday. Everyone present in the room also answered the prayer.

After praying all the employees were served lunch. Assisted by Zahira, the Chess General started the banquet by taking lunch first. Zahira took whatever Grandpa wanted. After General Chess, Zahira's turn to take food followed by Fauzan and all JC employees.

While enjoying lunch together, they were presented with live music entertainment and some CCTV footage showing the performance of JC employees so far. All employees laughed when they recognized the people who were caught on camera and what they were doing. Some of the people caught on camera showed different expressions. Some blushed embarrassed, annoyed, some even laughed to see the action itself.

Among all the employees, Haikal looked wrong. He was worried if the action had been caught by CCTV cameras. But when you remember if there is no surveillance camera that can reach the place where he works, Haikal also looks a little calm. Moreover, he did his actions neatly.

But Haikal's composure was disturbed when the impressions stopped on a proof of transfer in Haikal's name to a foreign account number. Not just one but there were several and the amount of money transferred was very unusual for a Haikal class employee. All the JC employees fell silent and looked at each other and then all of them stared at Haikal at the same time.

Haikal who was bribing food into his mouth was surprised when he realized the gaze of everyone who was directed at him.

"Why are we so rich?" haikal was confused.

"That's what I mean there, right?" asked one of the employees while glancing at the big television inside the hall.

"Basic fool. Trouble getting in here only makes it a self-destructive act," said another employee.

Haikal panicked and stared at the television screen. He was shocked because his crime was exposed. And even more surprised when two body guards Zahira stood behind him with two policemen in uniform for some time. The two policemen swiftly blocked Haikal's arms until the plate in his hand fell and broke.

Everyone pulled over as Zahira, Fauzan and Arungga stepped towards Haikal. The three of them stared intently and stopped right in front of Haikal.

"I .. This is slander. Ar, you believe in me. I didn't do that Ms. Za ...."

"paaakkk !"

The slap was so hard it landed on Haikal's cheek that the man's face turned to the side. And the culprit is Zahira, the heir to JC.

Haikal seemed to grimace with the pain. As his face turned back towards Zahira, there was clearly anger there. He felt his pride as a man had been underestimated by a woman. Haikal often underestimated women and used them.

"We're not good enough that you're brave enough to steal here?!" ask Zahira.

Haikal's words made an uproar. Kasak kusuk employees were heard and clearly it was aimed at Arungga as Finance Manager and Haikal's best friend.

Arungga, who is now the center of the conversation, tried to remain calm. If you do not remember the words of the father, Arungga must have raised his fist towards Haikal.

"So you're trying to bring down Mr. Arungga. I don't know what grudges you have. But just get your business out there and don't involve JC!" zahira screams in anger.

Haikal fell silent as he looked at Zahira and Arungga alternately with hateful gazes. Fauzan also advanced in front of Zahira to block the gaze of Haikal's eyes that were fixed on his future wife.

"Please bring him Sir," pinta Fauzan a moment later.

"Every sir" said the two policemen at the same time and immediately led Haikal out of the room.

Haikal was unable to hold his head up when he heard the prickly shoes of JC employees who accompanied his steps. But Haikal looks calm because he still has an ace to drop Arungga.

After Haikal was kicked out of the hall, the event resumed. However, Fauzan chose to take Zahira out of the hall to calm down.

Arriving in Zahira's room seemed unable to hold back the tears. Fauzan hugged Zahira tightly and tried to calm her down.

"Why are you crying. You should be happy to uncover the evil of Haikal in front of everyone" Fauzan said, rubbing Zahira's head gently.

"I'm sad that Grandpa has to witness my inability to lead JC. My grandfather expected a lot from me. I'm afraid Grandpa is disappointed" said Zahira, sobbing.

"Who said Grandpa was disappointed Za !. Grandpa is proud of you!" general Chess said from the doorway.

Zahira and Fauzan immediately broke their arms and stared at the door. They saw General Chess standing gallantly in the doorway accompanied by Arungga.

Then Zahira took a quick step and hugged Grandpa and came back crying. Fauzan retreated to give Zahira a chance to talk to her grandfather.

"We haven't been able to breathe a sigh of relief because this hasn't finished Ar" Fauzan said as he closed the door.

"Yes Bang, I know that. Haikal will certainly find other evidence to trap Gue," said Arungga riled.

"We try our best and hope everything will be okay. But Lo calm down. If something happens that is not desired, Zahira will not be affected because he believes the same Lo 100%. Maybe more believe in Lo than I do," said Fauzan.

"What does Lo Bang mean ?. Kaya I nangkep Nada jealously in Lo's words just now," said Arungga while staring fixed Fauzan.

Arungga's words made Fauzan laugh while scratching his non-itchy head.

"What's the obvious look of Ar?" ask Fauzan.

"Bangetpus. But gapapa. That means without Lo realizing actually Lo began to love Zahira. Am I right?" ask Arungga.

"Yes" said Fauzan shyly and replace the laughing Arungga.

Arungga's laughter grew louder as he turned his head and found Zahira standing behind Fauzan with a blushing face. It seems that Zahira heard Fauzan's confession earlier. While the Chess General seemed to smile silently at the timid attitude of Zahira and Fauzan.
